Well, we did it. Austere August is a wrap. I learned a lot about the MMOC last Austere August but I don't really think I picked up much new wisdom this time, despite using the Gen 1 this year vs a Gen 2 last year. The Gen 1 has a bit more of a bite when the blade is new than the Gen 2, but once it gets smoothed out they are basically the same. Once you master this razor it really is a perfectly fine daily driver. Congratulations to everyone finishing their first MMOC Month, and a nod of distinguished respect to everyone completing their second.
Mood Indigo Month was both a success and a failure. I did use up a decent amount of my puck and balm, but the soap is either losing scent strength as it gets towards the bottom or I'm just not noticing it as much. I do love doing Mammoth Month but I definitely get less excited to use these products once Austere August is over, which is a shame because of how amazing they are. My tub of Tobacconist from last AA is still around and I can't imagine having the motivation to put another 30 shaves or so on this tub of Mood Indigo to finish it off any time soon. I could probably use this tub again next year.
For u/Teufelskraft's #sidetracked, let's close on with some funk! Turn up the bass and enjoy the jam.
